If your devout WASDing-and-mousing ways have turned you into a frequent player of Call of Duty: World at War on the PC, you'll be pleased to know that Treyarch hasn't forgotten about you. The oft-downloaded Map Pack 2 that hit Xbox 360 and PS3 last month will be making its way to PCs in World at War's next update, Patch 1.5.
According to Treyarch community manager J.D. (a.k.a. JD_2020 on the Treyarch forums), the patch is "in test right now, and is looking great." For those of you who remained spitefully out of the loop on the map bundle, it includes three standard levels -- Bonsai, Corrosion and Sub Pens -- and a swampy, undead-plagued stage called "Shi No Numa," which we believe is Japanese for "Oh crap, Zombies."

I think sony boy meant that since its "games for windows" It should be tagged under xbox aka microsoft being the parent company owning both xbox and windows..
Since its Sony / Nintendo the xbox should be a generic Microsoft under Microsoft it should be windows , xbox and xbox 360..
They do that exact thing with Nintendo and with Sony it should be Microsoft..
Microsoft should never be the same as PC though.

Why does no one see a problem with the console gamers having to pay for these maps while the PC gamers get them for free? Yeah I know its absurd to PC gamers to pay for maps but i'd say most of the sales came from the consoles so i'm sure all the profit made from those sales can pay for a few maps!

Yeah. Given how few people who play PC online fpses would actually buy these considering the amount of custom maps in CSS, TF2, UT3, battlefield etc, it makes sense to just offer them free to try and get PC gamers on side for future iterations of the CoD series.

because it's console owners faults that they pay for this stuff in the first place. PC gamers never would have supported being charged $10 for three maps of anything unless it was wrapped in serious expansion pack.
Developers were quite happy making freebie maps for PC games until Xbox came along.
Same reason that console owners are more than willing to drop $60 on a new game when you can find the PC version selling for $30.
